I agree that his interview and A-Level results will be far more important. Although, his GCSE results are excellent! Well done DS!

Is he set on Cambridge? Although it's obviously an outstanding university, it's not necessarily the best place to study medicine I don't think.

I just wondered really whether the grades have to be all A* or whether French will matter as its a B its all new to me!

You need a minimum of a C in sciences for medicine for Cambridge but they will only really care about A-Level results and the interview.

I'm not sure about the question - what else could they want from him at either 6th form or uni for medicine if he got all A* in sciences?
